Christmas Things

Just like that, Christmas has come and gone. 

This year's Christmas was fairly simple and quiet. It even shows in our Christmas card. Instead of trying to get a perfect family photo, we went to the mall and took photos in a photo booth. It's not perfect but it's fun and playful.




Carley and I made "gingies" this year. The gingerbread cookie recipe comes from my grandma and it is a fun way to remember her during the holidays. 








Carley's friend came over and I let the girls decorate the cookies themselves. There was a lot of frosting and sprinkles but still tasted delicious. The girls had a good time. 



Christmas day we stayed home all day. No extra people, no visits to anyone, just chilling at home. We did take our traditional family photo in front of the tree first thing in the morning. 


We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, too. 

O Christmas Tree

All I wanted was a nice picture of the kids in front of the Christmas tree when they were done decorating it. 

This is what I got....







At least they are keeping it real. 

Merry Christmas!
